I respectfully disagree, and would add that I know of an automotive undercoating that doesn't even need to be scuffed to stick forever. But forever is a long time, so that's why I don't recommend it here.

I once heard through the grapevine FWIW (unverified) that quality requirements require even merely the symbol/icon on a button inside the interior must last unscathed for at least 10 years. If a supplier cannot guarantee that, it won't make it to production.
So let's just say that it wouldn't be a surprise. Painting with heat resistant paint is possible and dark paint partially obscures its size, but nevertheless BMW refrains from doing it (unlike for example exhaust tips or configurator renders).
